Industry experts Johann Rost and Robert L. Glass explore the seamy underbelly of software engineering in this timely report on and analysis of the prevalance of subversion, lying, hacking, and espionage on every level of software project management. Based on the authors' original research and augmented by frank discussion and insights from other well-respected figures, The Dark Side of Software Engineering goes where other management studies fear to tread -- a corporate environment where schedules are fabricated, trust is betrayed, millions of dollars are lost, and there is a serious need for the kind of corrective action that this book ultimately proposes.

Johann Rost has worked in the software industry for twenty
years. He has taught at the University of Applied Science at
Bingen, Germany, and at Politehnica University at Bucharest,
Romania.

Robert L. Glass is the author of twenty-eight books on
computing subjects, including the bestselling Facts and Fallacies
of Software Engineering. He has written nearly one hundred articles
on computing subjects and has served as a columnist for three
leading publications—Communications of the ACM ("The
Practical Programmer"), IEEE Software ("The Loyal Opposition"), and
Information Systems Management ("Through a Glass, Darkly").
